The GN 1/3 width-oriented basket is the orientation variant for the Prestige 700 electric pasta cooker — a food-grade stainless basket of 290×160×215mm, 4kg, with the long side (290mm) set in width in the tank. At €145 excl. VAT (the same price as the depth version, ref 1353), it is the orientation alternative for Prestige 700 tanks whose available width (side by side) is more favourable than the depth.
Width Orientation: Which One for Your Tank
The width version (1354) and the depth version (1353) hold the same GN 1/3 capacity — the difference is purely how the 290mm long side sits in the tank. Choose width when you want to place baskets side by side across the tank, or when the tank's usable width is the more generous dimension. Many operations mix both orientations to fill the tank surface efficiently. If unsure, contact our team with your tank dimensions.

How a GN Basket Works in a Pasta Cooker
A Gastronorm (GN) basket portions and cooks pasta inside the cooker's hot water tank, then lifts out to drain in one move — no pouring boiling water through a colander. Each basket holds its own portion, so different orders cook and drain independently and reach the counter at an even, controlled doneness. The GN standard is modular: smaller formats (GN 1/6, 1/4, 1/3) let you run several baskets in a single tank at once, mixing pasta types and portion sizes in parallel.
Food-Grade Stainless Steel and Ergonomic Handling
The basket is made from food-grade stainless steel — non-corrosive, resistant to constant immersion in boiling water, and built to last in daily service. Ergonomic handles allow safe lifting and draining without burns, and let staff swap baskets quickly during a rush. Keeping a spare basket on hand means production continues without interruption if one is being cleaned or is in use.
Compatibility, Cleaning and HACCP
This basket is designed for a specific pasta-cooker model — check the compatibility noted below before ordering, as tank dimensions vary by range. Smooth stainless surfaces rinse and wash easily between services and slot straight into your HACCP cleaning plan. For any compatibility question, contact our team with the exact model of your cooker.
